I hate Jefferson.

He had them in such a bad situation. They might be dangerous now.

The San Antonio Spurs still aren't a threat financially in free agency, though.

lol...

does he really think he can do better?

by Escrote on Jun 30, 2010 4:55 PM PDT reply actions

He should be drug tested

You’d have to be on something pretty strong to think that opting out of that contract is a good idea.

Wonder if he'd consider MLE (if he doesn't already have a deal in place with Spurs)?

A Woj thinks Jefferson may simply be unhappy in San Antonio

Jefferson also knew how little use Popovich had for him and money may not have been worth another year of misery there. Pop rode him hard.

Hahaha

The most unhappy year of my life, I’d lead all over again for the DIFFERENCE between $15 mil and whatever he’s going to make next year.

Nah, Sasha is a real man.

That’s noted by him having some good times with Maria Sharapova.

by jlarose78 on Jun 30, 2010 5:44 PM PDT reply actions

I would not

unless it was TP from 2003-ish.

Babbitt plus filler,

most likely Andre and Joel (two4larue is going to be all over that), should be enough talent wise considering the season Parker just had. But I dunno if they want a SF who has so many questions about his defense. They probably would have liked Martell as a poor man’s Bowen.
